June

Overnight Dallas has become a summer sauna- the humidity and bright sun sure make it good pool weather! I'm in my second week of working summer school (just half a day)- only 2 weeks left now.

So last week we babysat our nieces and nephew (Saturday through Thursday) while Justin and Tasha went to Playa, and we honestly had a great time. Yes we were VERY tired but it was also really fun and rewarding spending 12+ hrs a day playing and caring for a 5, 3 and almost 1 year old. The older two are at ages that allow them more independence and the youngest was just so adorable that we didnt mind all the poopy diapers and messes. 3 of the days Dillon played Mr Mom since I had to work summer school- I think he did a good job and I'm glad he is getting lots of practice!

On Friday my sisters came in town for a short trip. That night we ate at Fireside Pies in Legacy, walked around the lake and got ice cream then came home to watch a bit of the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

Saturday morning Dillon and I got up early to work at The Stewpot downtown with our small group- it was our first "mission" event and we all enjoyed getting to serve and be reminded of all that we have. Mollie also had to get up early to take the ACT in Frisco- after which we grabbed lunch then spent the afternoon at Hawaiin Falls. We started in the wave pool and couldnt stop laughing as we all clung to our one float for dear life. Then we floated in the lazy river for at least 1 hr- a brother and sister asked if we wanted to start a chain , so we linked inner-tubes with them and at one point had about 15 people "chained" together going through the river.

We went to church together on Sunday then the girls went home. I know I'll see them soon but it's still always sad to say goodbye. Afterwards Dillon and I spent the day catching up on laundry from the past week, a couple of grocery store runs and finished the night with this perfect summer dish while watching Glee. I would like to comment that while I love the musical side of the show- the story lines and relationships are getting a little offensive which makes me sad.

Summer is underway- future trips, good books, and time off all make for happy dispositions~
